Either that or they made if lifestyle and to scale which is still pretty expensive

I'm pretty sure in that picture it's a real car though. If your rich enough, it's just chump change

Of course that may not be an average house, but the average interior wall, in an average house, is not designed to hold a ton and a half of weight.

Its not an average wall. The steel hooks holding that thing to the wall look ridiculously beefy. I still think it might fall off the wall and through that $200,000 glass staircase in a good earthquake though.

I'm all for admiring your car as art, but this is beyond ridiculous. A car is meant to be driven, not hung on the wall for posterity.
